KEYNOTE SPEAKER

Robert Kuttner is the co-founder and current editor-in-chief of The American Prospect. He is also one of five co-founders of the Economic Policy Institute.

Kuttner was once Washington Editor of the Village Voice, economics editor at The New Republic, and a former member of the national staff at The Washington Post. His nationally syndicated column is carried in over a dozen large dailies, in addition to appearing on The American Prospect website every Thursday. He writes frequently on health care policy and single payer reform.

HONOREES

Grace Ross was the Green Party candidate for Governor of Massachusetts in the 2006 election. Grace was a tireless advocate for Single Payer across the state every time health care issues were debated. Grace has shown poise, integrity, courage, and power in her support for Single Payer and we are very pleased to give her this award.

Barbara Sullivan is our second honoree. Barbara is an RN, and for many years was the Chair of the Health Care Committee of the Massachusetts League of Women Voters. Under her guidance the League became extremely active in promoting Single Payer health care through forums, articles, and local branches of the League. Her leadership gave the Massachusetts Chapter of the LWV a national reputation for being the experts on health reform issues. Barbara is responsible for tireless work to make health care a right for Massachusetts. We are proud to give Barbara this award for her dedication and hard work.

WORKSHOPS

Action-oriented workshops will be held for participants to learn more about health care activism in the state, and to help Mass-Care and UHCEF develop strategy around key areas facing the single payer movement in Massachusetts. Workshops will focus on:

• Health Care and Immigrant Rights
• Responding to Individual Mandates
